Tex. Educ. Code Section 45.0531
Additional Limitation: Reservation of Percentage of Permanent School Fund Value

(a)

In addition to the limitation on the approval of bonds for guarantee under Section 45.053 (Limitation; Value Estimates), the board by rule may establish a percentage of the cost value of the permanent school fund to be reserved from use in guaranteeing bonds under this subchapter.

(b)

If the board has reserved a portion of the permanent school fund under Subsection (a), each year, the state auditor shall analyze the status of the reserved portion compared to the cost value of the permanent school fund. Based on that analysis, the state auditor shall certify whether the portion of the permanent school fund reserved from use in guaranteeing bonds under this subchapter satisfies the reserve percentage established.

(c)

If the board has reserved a portion of the permanent school fund under Subsection (a), the board shall at least annually consider whether to change the reserve percentage established to ensure that the reserve percentage allows compliance with federal law and regulations and serves to enable bonds guaranteed under this subchapter to receive the highest available credit rating, as determined by the board.

(d)

This section may not be construed in a manner that impairs, limits, or removes the guarantee of bonds that have been approved by the commissioner.
